Snorlax

Quick, someone get my pokeflute because there’s a Snorlax blocking the doorway 🙂

This toy is perfectly cuddling size. He is roughly 50 cm tall, with an arm span of 75 cm.

This patterns uses a 4 mm hook and 8 ply wool and is written in American crochet notation. You will need four 100 gram black balls, two 100 gram brown balls and some white and dark brown wool. You will also need approximately 600 grams of stuffing.

Assembly

Sew the ears to the head. Fold a V shape in the top of the face and sew it to the head. Embroider the face. Sew on the tummy fur. The tummy fur and face should be sewed together at the neck. Sew the claws onto the arms and sew the arms to the body. Sew the claws to the feet and the feet to the body. Use the photos as a guide.

You have now completed your Snorlax, but there’s still lots of work to be done. You better start looking for the 800 pounds of food he needs each day to keep him happy 🙂
